Specifically, it has to be cruel and unusual. If it's just cruel but commonplace or just unusual but not cruel, it's fine.

Android auto runs on your phone. Android automotive runs in your car.

Yes, but Android Auto does need some work on the car OS side to operate, i.e. within Android Automotive in this example (although Blackberry QNX is probably more common these days, automakers are moving away from it)

I mean, I don't like my car updating but I'd rather things get fixed than not. Software recalls are a huge headache in the auto industry, and being able to just download an update that fixes something is way easier than going to a dealership and having them use very specific tools and software to update the car/modules.

It's also used for anti-theft features for a lot of newer cars, if your car is stolen it can be remotely disabled entirely. That's really what's more scary in my opinion.

Not entirely unrelated, Android Auto is basically a projection app for Android Automotive.

Yeah, pretty much all new cars have some amount of cellular connectivity. Usually you can't actually use it without paying some subscription, but the manufacturers use it to push updates.

I work at one of the "Big 3" as a software engineer, we are not unionized and the strikes have before reached the engineering centers. What exactly do you suggest those in this situation do? If we don't go to work we get fired. There's tiny internal efforts at unionizing engineering but it's far from feasible yet.

I am genuinely asking, I'd love to not have to cross a picket line should the strikes make their way here, I fully support what the union wants and is doing. At the same time, I am afforded none of the protections the union has to enable them to strike. I go into the office, cross a picket line, to do a job completely unrelated to union work, or I get fired.

(No, running over picketers is literally never okay. But not everyone entering a facility is scabbing or trying to undermine the protest efforts)

Anyone know why they can't be charged with trespassing and removed? Article says the school and land are privately owned now, but surely unless the actual owner is physically there or has given permission it's a very clear case of trespassing? Especially when they're asking for plumbers and other tradespeople to come and trying to set something up long-term.

Unfortunately the reasoning isn't to improve school-life balance or give parents more time with their kids, it's that schools in the US are criminally underfunded and cannot afford to operate 5 days a week.

Not saying it's a good idea, but a lot of the complexity surrounding automated driving is actually because you are confined to a 2D space and have to follow roads/road signs. When you can just lift off and adjust verticality to avoid objects all you really need is a way to detect and avoid obstacles and some navigation logic. Landing is probably the most difficult part to automate.

Not super easy but it is actually easier than self-driving cars (which is why almost all of a commercial flight is running on autopilot)

Google is not the law, and they can do whatever they want with their company.

Sure, but imagine your employer just fired you because of accusations before it ever reached trial. Illegal? No. Ruining someone's livelihood even though they're innocent legally speaking? Yes.

Not defending this person, I genuinely do not even know who they are. But "private company can do whatever they want, your rights are only something the government has to care about" is a pretty concerning position to take. Not to mention they didn't seem to take down or stop running ads on the channel, just stopped giving him the money. They're profiting off of his content without paying him and using an unverified (but very possibly accurate) accusation as an excuse. That should be illegal.

I work in the automotive industry in the US, but we regularly interact with German suppliers (software and hardware). In my experience, in August especially it seems like half of their office is just out the entire month. I'm sure there's tons of industries where that isn't the case, though.

Almost always this is a player issue as mentioned. I've had similar issues with some files where audio just doesn't work on one player but works fine for another. Same with subtitles. Set to an external player like VLC and see if that fixes it. (For what it's worth, I mostly access Jellyfin from my Chromecast and I have it set to prompt me for a player each time I start watching something, one of them always works but for my files it isn't consistent which)
